Why does YouTube Suck???

Everyone knows YouTube sucks, please write your comments and share with us below!

1. Everytime you send the YouTube "staff" an email to complain about an issue, have a question, to report a problem they respond back to you with a link to the automated help section! Even if you SPECIFIY in the email to NOT respond to you with a link to the automated help section they do it anyway!

2. Sometimes they might respond weeks later

3. At least twice a day their site malfunctions, and videos get frozen after two seconds

4. The site malfunctions all the time and the members have to wait until the weekday for them to fix the issue

5. Sometime you upload a video for 20 minutes and then in the last second YouTube disconnects on you and tells to sign in again! And you LOOSE your video and have to REupload it for another 20 minutes.

These are some of the things that piss me off about you tube, please share with us below the problems YOU have with You Tube!

You Tube Sucks
Just like Google, You-Tube is now extremely arbitrary in their actions with users. My account, while I was in Iran, was 'permanently suspended.' I'd only received one email before about copyright infringement. And believe me, what I posted fell clearly within fair use guidelines. But alas, they've been bought by Google, and we all know how horribly arbitrary Google is:
There is totally no way to defend you against this, you get no warning at all if a clip has been flagged, you just have to come to the conclusion whilst browsing your video archive. This particular clip was uploaded in September last year. It’s been on there for months, and all of the sudden the content isn’t appropriate anymore?
Moreover, You-Tube's utility as an archive has clearly dimished:
Anyway, I’m done with YouTube, almost. It is clear they have no interest in preserving a digital archive of video content for the future, and that I cannot rely on them for posterity. I will continue to look for video sharing services, but it is clear YouTube has value merely as a bandwidth saver, not as an actual utility for web publishing. Any video I link to or embed can dissapear at a moments notice because of an unrelated and questionably legal video.
Feel free to continue to use You-Tube links and embeds here at The Agonist, but I'll be looking for something better. A service that actually lives up to its own motto. After all, what was all that stuff about 'Don't Be Evil?'
Just crap if you ask me.

Do you think that somebody didn't like your clip and performed a sabotage by complaining? And You-Tube didn't think twice while clearing the complain.

This is why I hate mergers.
Someone comes out with something good and independent, then they get offered big bucks.......then whoosh, there goes independence. TV media is controlled by only 5 companies.........sometimes I fear it will be controlled by even less.

Sounds like you're getting near the end
of your rope with free video hosts?
Perhaps it's time to investigate what it would cost to host your videos yourself with a commercial account?
Not free hosts
Just a suggestion. It does sound like you have had difficulties with more than one free host, either with copyright or other issues?

Politcal sabotage
is a reality here in Finland in Eniro's discussion boards. And in Wikipedia too. Of course, the same practice must be in the USA too.
If I ask a difficult question from a political candidate here in a public meeting, somebody arrives soon to ask me why I "harass" the candidate.
Political material which somebody doesn't like will be attacked by sideline complaints.

reply write to author The answer, of course,
is that ASCII text is where the Agonist packs 99% of its punch, so although it is very pleasant to have embedded video and pics, I really wouldn't care if they disappeared and I don't depend on them.
And when video's desirable and crucial, one must bear in mind that the internet is insurgency writ large. What makes the internet new and revolutionary is that there are too many individual throats to squeeze shut, too many printing presses to smash.
Making YouTube a central and visible command and control facility is begging for a single smart bomb.

Technology sucks
My mother tells me that she HAS to file with IRS electronically. I have a severe problem with HAS TO FILE ELECTRONICALLY. What if1. She does not have $900.00 to purchase a personal computer2. She can not afford the internet service fee.3. She does not want to pay a professional for "tax services".4. Has no desire to support the technology of the
Anti-Christ.

And
just may have a slight concern about Windows XP service pack 156 and it's attempt to "fix" the "security" "vulnerabilities" in the previous 155 "updates". Need I say more?

I just wanted to say the YouTube sucks. I have uploaded a video clip recorded and compiled by on World Rally Championship here in Cyprus. I have personally recorded the videos and now YouTube sent me an e-mail saying that i have Copyright Infringement.

Well technically you have broken copyright. You don't own the rights to broadcast a sporting event. It's the same if you go to a hockey game, concert or a movie for that mater and tape it and upload it.
